The class is hands-on, with Putu guiding you through preparing two to three traditional Balinese dishes. While cooking, Putu explains the spices used in her family recipes and the medicinal properties of local ingredients. The kitchen is modest, equipped with a two-burner cooktop, yet Putu efficiently prepares several dishes during the session. Possible dishes include grilled eggplant with tomato, grilled fish served with Balinese sambal chili sauce, a curry which may be chicken, fish, or vegetarian, and various pepes - seasoned foods steamed in banana leaves. After the cooking lesson, which takes about one to two hours, you will sit down to eat the meal you helped prepare together with Putu and her family. The experience includes round-trip transport from hotels within Ubud, all taxes and fees, non-alcoholic drinks, and one to two glasses of local alcohol. Gratuities are also included. Transportation from outside Ubud is available for an extra charge.
Join Putu in her home kitchen for a private, hands-on Balinese cooking class held in her ancestral village in Ubud, nestled among lush gardens and tropical orchards. You’ll be warmly welcomed by her multigenerational family before preparing five authentic dishes together, using fresh ingredients harvested from her own farm. As you chop, grind, and grill, Putu will share stories behind her family recipes, the vibrant spices she uses, and the healing properties of traditional Balinese ingredients, most of which come straight from her own farm. Her kitchen may be simple, with just a two-burner cooktop, but you’ll be amazed by the ease and grace with which she brings complex flavors to life. Your meal will be accompanied by their family’s homegrown rice, cultivated by Putu’s grandparents who are rice farmers. Beyond cooking, Putu offers warm insights into Hinduism and local life, all with a great sense of humor that makes the experience both meaningful & fun. Your class lasts about 1.5 hours and ends with a shared meal of everything you’ve prepared. It’s perfect for food lovers, curious travelers & families with children looking for a deeper connection to Balinese culture and cuisine.
